Installation environment requirements
The HP BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure (referred to as the enclosure) is designed to be used in a
rack-free environment. The following conditions must be met when performing a rack-free installation:
• A fully populated enclosure can weigh up to 153.7 kg (338.9 lb). The object supporting the
enclosure must be able to withstand this weight.
• The enclosure should be supported by a sturdy, flat surface.
Planning the installation 6
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free
environment:
• Never stack an enclosure on top of another enclosure.
• Never place equipment on top of an enclosure.
• Never place an enclosure on a surface that cannot support up to 153.7 kg (338.9 lb).
Warning, caution, and important messages
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings
and cautions throughout the installation instructions.
WARNING: The enclosure is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for
manual material handling.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must
adequately support enclosures during installation and removal.
These symbols, on power supplies or systems, indicate that the equipment is supplied
by multiple sources of power.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove all power cords
to completely disconnect power from the system.
• Each enclosure has two or more power supply cords. A single rack or cabinet
may contain more than one enclosure. Power may be supplied in a redundant
fashion. Removing any single source of power does not necessarily remove power
from any portion of the system. When performing any service other than hot-plug
module replacement, you must completely disconnect all power to that portion of
the system.
• When performing service procedures on enclosures, shut off the circuit breakers to
both A and B AC power feeds and then disconnect all power cords from the
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
outlets before servicing.
internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, enter enclosures
or perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.
Planning the installation 7
WARNING: A risk of electric shock from high leakage current exists. Before connecting the AC
supply to the power enclosures, be sure that the electrical outlets are properly grounded
(earthed).
The area where the enclosure is installed should be designated as a restricted access area,
and the enclosure is intended to be used with a dedicated uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
that uses an industrial style wall plug to insure a reliable protective earth ground connection.
Each power supply in the enclosure can also be plugged directly into a low-line wall outlet. Be
sure there is enough total amperage available in the wall outlets of your facility to handle all
power supplies installed in the enclosure. To determine the total amperage draw of your HP
BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure configuration, see the HP power calculator
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/powercalculator
).
Only trained service personnel must perform installation and maintenance.
CAUTION: Always be sure that equipment is properly grounded and that you follow proper
grounding procedures before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can
result in ESD damage to electronic components. For more information, refer to, "Electrostatic
discharge (on page 79)."
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade
and/or the system. Use caution when performing other operations, such as hot-plug
installations or troubleshooting.
CAUTION: Protect the equipment from AC power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with
a regulating facility UPS device. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by
power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.
IMPORTANT: Data on the dimensions and weights of HP BladeSystem c-Class components can
be found in the HP BladeSystem c-Class Maintenance and Service Guide. The same data can
be determined by using the online HP BladeSystem c-Class Sizing Utility.
Space and airflow requirements
To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when
deciding where to install the HP BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure:
• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the enclosure.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) in back of the enclosure.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the enclosure to the rear of
another enclosure, rack, or row of racks.
HP BladeSystem servers draw cool air in through the front and expel warm air through the rear of the
enclosure. Therefore, the front of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air
to enter the enclosure, and the rear of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air
to escape from the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
Planning the installation 8
If the enclosure is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can
cause changes in the airflow, which can adversely affect cooling within the enclosure. Fill these gaps with
blanks.
CAUTION: Always use blanks to fill empty spaces in enclosures. This arrangement ensures
proper airflow. Using an enclosure without the proper blanks results in improper cooling that
can lead to thermal damage.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the enclosure in a wellventilated, climate-controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the enclosure is higher than the room temperature and is dependent on
the configuration of equipment in the enclosure. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before
installation.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the enclosure or to increase the
internal enclosure temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the TMRA of the manufacturer.
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of IT equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations
covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of
Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the
product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not
overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the enclosure. Consult the
electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the enclosure from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a
regulating UPS. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and
voltage spikes and keeps the enclosure in operation during a power failure.
Grounding requirements
This equipment must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must
install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250,
as well as any local and regional building codes.
In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA
C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.
In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical
wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.
Planning the installation 9
Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this equipment, HP recommends the use of a
PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord
that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are
considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips to supply power to this equipment
is not recommended.

part, HP will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:
•Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request HP to replace these
parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
Technical support 65
•Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for
customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be
additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
NOTE: Some HP parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to satisfy the customer warranty,
HP requires that an authorized service provider replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the
Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the HP Technical Support Center and a technician will help
you over the telephone. HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a
defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you
must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days.
The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material.
Failure to return the defective part may result in HP billing you for the replacement. With a customer self
repair, HP will pay all shipping and part return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.

Réparation par le client (CSR)
Les produits HP comportent de nombreuses pièces CSR (Customer Self Repair = réparation par le client)
afin de minimiser les délais de réparation et faciliter le remplacement des pièces défectueuses. Si pendant
la période de diagnostic, HP (ou ses partenaires ou mainteneurs agréés) détermine que la réparation peut
être effectuée à l'aide d'une pièce CSR, HP vous l'envoie directement. Il existe deux catégories de pièces
CSR:
•Obligatoire - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est obligatoire. Si vous demandez à
HP de remplacer ces pièces, les coûts de déplacement et main d'œuvre du service vous seront
facturés.
•Facultatif - Pièces pour lesquelles la réparation par le client est facultative. Ces pièces sont également
conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la réparation. Toutefois, si vous demandez à
HP de remplacer ces pièces, l'intervention peut ou non vous être facturée, selon le type de garantie
applicable à votre produit.
REMARQUE: Certaines pièces HP ne sont pas conçues pour permettre au client d'effectuer lui-même la
réparation. Pour que la garantie puisse s'appliquer, HP exige que le remplacement de la pièce soit
effectué par un Mainteneur Agréé. Ces pièces sont identifiées par la mention "Non" dans le Catalogue
illustré.
Les pièces CSR sont livrées le jour ouvré suivant, dans la limite des stocks disponibles et selon votre
situation géographique. Si votre situation géographique le permet et que vous demandez une livraison le
jour même ou dans les 4 heures, celle-ci vous sera facturée. Pour bénéficier d'une assistance
téléphonique, appelez le Centre d'assistance technique HP. Dans les documents envoyés avec la pièce de
rechange CSR, HP précise s'il est nécessaire de lui retourner la pièce défectueuse. Si c'est le cas, vous
devez le faire dans le délai indiqué, généralement cinq (5) jours ouvrés. La pièce et sa documentation
doivent être retournées dans l'emballage fourni. Si vous ne retournez pas la pièce défectueuse, HP se
réserve le droit de vous facturer les coûts de remplacement. Dans le cas d'une pièce CSR, HP supporte
l'ensemble des frais d'expédition et de retour, et détermine la société de courses ou le transporteur à
utiliser.

Riparazione da parte del cliente
Per abbreviare i tempi di riparazione e garantire una maggiore flessibilità nella sostituzione di parti
difettose, i prodotti HP sono realizzati con numerosi componenti che possono essere riparati direttamente
dal cliente (CSR, Customer Self Repair). Se in fase di diagnostica HP (o un centro di servizi o di
assistenza HP) identifica il guasto come riparabile mediante un ricambio CSR, HP lo spedirà direttamente
al cliente per la sostituzione. Vi sono due categorie di parti CSR:
•Obbligatorie – Parti che devono essere necessariamente riparate dal cliente. Se il cliente ne affida la
riparazione ad HP, deve sostenere le spese di spedizione e di manodopera per il servizio.
•Opzionali – Parti la cui riparazione da parte del cliente è facoltativa. Si tratta comunque di
componenti progettati per questo scopo. Se tuttavia il cliente ne richiede la sostituzione ad HP,
potrebbe dover sostenere spese addizionali a seconda del tipo di garanzia previsto per il prodotto.
NOTA: alcuni componenti HP non sono progettati per la riparazione da parte del cliente. Per rispettare
la garanzia, HP richiede che queste parti siano sostituite da un centro di assistenza autorizzato. Tali parti
sono identificate da un "No" nel Catalogo illustrato dei componenti.
In base alla disponibilità e alla località geografica, le parti CSR vengono spedite con consegna entro il
giorno lavorativo seguente. La consegna nel giorno stesso o entro quattro ore è offerta con un
supplemento di costo solo in alcune zone. In caso di necessità si può richiedere l'assistenza telefonica di
un addetto del centro di supporto tecnico HP. Nel materiale fornito con una parte di ricambio CSR, HP
specifica se il cliente deve restituire dei componenti. Qualora sia richiesta la resa ad HP del componente
difettoso, lo si deve spedire ad HP entro un determinato periodo di tempo, generalmente cinque (5) giorni
lavorativi. Il componente difettoso deve essere restituito con la documentazione associata nell'imballo di
spedizione fornito. La mancata restituzione del componente può comportare la fatturazione del ricambio
da parte di HP. Nel caso di riparazione da parte del cliente, HP sostiene tutte le spese di spedizione e
resa e sceglie il corriere/vettore da utilizzare.
Per ulteriori informazioni sul programma CSR di HP contattare il centro di assistenza di zona. Per il
programma in Nord America fare riferimento al sito Web HP (http://www.hp.com/go/selfrepair
Customer Self Repair
HP Produkte enthalten viele CSR-Teile (Customer Self Repair), um Reparaturzeiten zu minimieren und
höhere Flexibilität beim Austausch defekter Bauteile zu ermöglichen. Wenn HP (oder ein HP
Servicepartner) bei der Diagnose feststellt, dass das Produkt mithilfe eines CSR-Teils repariert werden
kann, sendet Ihnen HP dieses Bauteil zum Austausch direkt zu. CSR-Teile werden in zwei Kategorien
unterteilt:
•Zwingend – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren zwingend vorgegeben ist. Wenn Sie
den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen lassen, werden Ihnen die Anfahrt- und Arbeitskosten
für diesen Service berechnet.
).
•Optional – Teile, für die das Customer Self Repair-Verfahren optional ist. Diese Teile sind auch für
Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Wenn Sie jedoch den Austausch dieser Teile von HP vornehmen
lassen möchten, können bei diesem Service je nach den für Ihr Produkt vorgesehenen
Garantiebedingungen zusätzliche Kosten anfallen.
Technical support 67
HINWEIS: Einige Teile sind nicht für Customer Self Repair ausgelegt. Um den Garantieanspruch des
Kunden zu erfüllen, muss das Teil von einem HP Servicepartner ersetzt werden. Im illustrierten Teilekatalog
sind diese Teile mit „No“ bzw. „Nein“ gekennzeichnet.
CSR-Teile werden abhängig von der Verfügbarkeit und vom Lieferziel am folgenden Geschäftstag
geliefert. Für bestimmte Standorte ist eine Lieferung am selben Tag oder innerhalb von vier Stunden gegen
einen Aufpreis verfügbar. Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, können Sie das HP technische Support Center
anrufen und sich von einem Mitarbeiter per Telefon helfen lassen. Den Materialien, die mit einem CSRErsatzteil geliefert werden, können Sie entnehmen, ob das defekte Teil an HP zurückgeschickt werden
muss. Wenn es erforderlich ist, das defekte Teil an HP zurückzuschicken, müssen Sie dies innerhalb eines
vorgegebenen Zeitraums tun, in der Regel innerhalb von fünf (5) Geschäftstagen. Das defekte Teil muss
mit der zugehörigen Dokumentation in der Verpackung zurückgeschickt werden, die im Lieferumfang
enthalten ist. Wenn Sie das defekte Teil nicht zurückschicken, kann HP Ihnen das Ersatzteil in Rechnung
stellen. Im Falle von Customer Self Repair kommt HP für alle Kosten für die Lieferung und Rücksendung auf
und bestimmt den Kurier-/Frachtdienst.

Reparaciones del propio cliente
Los productos de HP incluyen muchos componentes que el propio usuario puede reemplazar (Customer Self Repair, CSR) para minimizar el tiempo de reparación y ofrecer una mayor flexibilidad a la hora de
realizar sustituciones de componentes defectuosos. Si, durante la fase de diagnóstico, HP (o los
proveedores o socios de servicio de HP) identifica que una reparación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el
uso de un componente CSR, HP le enviará dicho componente directamente para que realice su
sustitución. Los componentes CSR se clasifican en dos categorías:
•Obligatorio: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es obligatoria. Si solicita
a HP que realice la sustitución de estos componentes, tendrá que hacerse cargo de los gastos de
desplazamiento y de mano de obra de dicho servicio.
•Opcional: componentes para los que la reparación por parte del usuario es opcional. Estos
componentes también están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Sin embargo,
si precisa que HP realice su sustitución, puede o no conllevar costes adicionales, dependiendo del
tipo de servicio de garantía correspondiente al producto.
NOTA: Algunos componentes no están diseñados para que puedan ser reparados por el usuario. Para
que el usuario haga valer su garantía, HP pone como condición que un proveedor de servicios
autorizado realice la sustitución de estos componentes. Dichos componentes se identifican con la palabra
"No" en el catálogo ilustrado de componentes.
Según la disponibilidad y la situación geográfica, los componentes CSR se enviarán para que lleguen a
su destino al siguiente día laborable. Si la situación geográfica lo permite, se puede solicitar la entrega
en el mismo día o en cuatro horas con un coste adicional. Si precisa asistencia técnica, puede llamar al
Centro de asistencia técnica de HP y recibirá ayuda telefónica por parte de un técnico. Con el envío de
materiales para la sustitución de componentes CSR, HP especificará si los componentes defectuosos
deberán devolverse a HP. En aquellos casos en los que sea necesario devolver algún componente a HP,
deberá hacerlo en el periodo de tiempo especificado, normalmente cinco días laborables. Los
componentes defectuosos deberán devolverse con toda la documentación relacionada y con el embalaje
de envío. Si no enviara el componente defectuoso requerido, HP podrá cobrarle por el de sustitución. En

Customer Self Repair
Veel onderdelen in HP producten zijn door de klant zelf te repareren, waardoor de reparatieduur tot een
minimum beperkt kan blijven en de flexibiliteit in het vervangen van defecte onderdelen groter is. Deze
onderdelen worden CSR-onderdelen (Customer Self Repair) genoemd. Als HP (of een HP Service Partner)
bij de diagnose vaststelt dat de reparatie kan worden uitgevoerd met een CSR-onderdeel, verzendt HP
dat onderdeel rechtstreeks naar u, zodat u het defecte onderdeel daarmee kunt vervangen. Er zijn twee
categorieën CSR-onderdelen:
•Verplicht: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant verplicht is. Als u HP verzoekt deze
onderdelen voor u te vervangen, worden u voor deze service reiskosten en arbeidsloon in rekening
gebracht.
•Optioneel: Onderdelen waarvoor reparatie door de klant optioneel is. Ook deze onderdelen zijn
ontworpen voor reparatie door de klant. Als u echter HP verzoekt deze onderdelen voor u te
vervangen, kunnen daarvoor extra kosten in rekening worden gebracht, afhankelijk van het type
garantieservice voor het product.
).
OPMERKING: Sommige HP onderdelen zijn niet ontwikkeld voor reparatie door de klant. In verband met
de garantievoorwaarden moet het onderdeel door een geautoriseerde Service Partner worden vervangen.
Deze onderdelen worden in de geïllustreerde onderdelencatalogus aangemerkt met "Nee".
Afhankelijk van de leverbaarheid en de locatie worden CSR-onderdelen verzonden voor levering op de
eerstvolgende werkdag. Levering op dezelfde dag of binnen vier uur kan tegen meerkosten worden
aangeboden, indien dit mogelijk is gezien de locatie. Indien assistentie gewenst is, belt u een HP Service
Partner om via de telefoon technische ondersteuning te ontvangen. HP vermeldt in de documentatie bij het
vervangende CSR-onderdeel of het defecte onderdeel aan HP moet worden geretourneerd. Als het defecte
onderdeel aan HP moet worden teruggezonden, moet u het defecte onderdeel binnen een bepaalde
periode, gewoonlijk vijf (5) werkdagen, retourneren aan HP. Het defecte onderdeel moet met de
bijbehorende documentatie worden geretourneerd in het meegeleverde verpakkingsmateriaal. Als u het
defecte onderdeel niet terugzendt, kan HP u voor het vervangende onderdeel kosten in rekening brengen.
Bij reparatie door de klant betaalt HP alle verzendkosten voor het vervangende en geretourneerde
onderdeel en kiest HP zelf welke koerier/transportonderneming hiervoor wordt gebruikt.

Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic
discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller
install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
reseller.
